DRIVING PERFORMANCE

The driving dynamics of Jaguar cars are legendary – XF raises this benchmark even higher.

COMFORT AND DYNAMISM

With its superior ride comfort and outstanding sport handling, XF delivers a breadth of exhilarating driving experiences. Available on petrol and diesel1, the option of All Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics gives XF even greater capability in challenging road conditions

INSPIRED SUSPENSION

Strong and light aluminium components make up XF’s sophisticated front and rear suspension systems. At the front, a double wishbone suspension structure, similar to F-TYPE’s, ensures class-leading handling. An Integral Link suspension system at the rear provides stiffness to support handling, improve ride quality even further and extend XF’s breadth of dynamic capability.

REAR SELF-LEVELLING AIR SUSPENSION

Even when fully loaded, XF Sportbrake’s comfort and precise handling is maintained by self-levelling rear air suspension3. This system automatically inflates air springs to counteract the weight of heavy loads, this helps ensure a level chassis and ride height.

THE INGENIUM RANGE

Ingenium is Jaguar Land Rover's new breed of engine designed for effortless performance, refinement and efficiency. With advanced technology and all-aluminium construction Ingenium delivers impressively low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

INGENIUM PETROL

XF's new 2.0 litre 4 cylinder Turbocharged Ingenium Petrol engines deliver outstanding power and torque. With their lightweight design and widespread use of low-friction roller bearings, they are built for smooth, highly efficient performance.

INGENIUM DIESEL

Ingenium technology underpins three of the diesel engines in the XF range. These low friction, all- aluminium engines have stiff cylinder blocks and twin balancer shafts to ensure inherently low levels of vibration, for smooth day-to-day performance. All engines are equipped with Stop/Start technology1 and smart regenerative charging – harvesting kinetic energy from braking to charge the battery – for maximum economy, especially during urban driving.

3.0 LITRE V6 300PS TWIN TURBOCHARGED DIESEL

The 3.0 litre V6 Twin Turbocharged Diesel engine offers exceptional power, torque and drivability. It uses innovative twin-parallel sequential turbocharging – a concept pioneered by Jaguar Land Rover – for smooth, more immediate delivery of power at all engine speeds, as well as two-stage water cooling to conserve energy.

F-TYPE INSPIRED ENGINES

All XF's petrol engines offer power and responsiveness, while improving efficiency. Shared with F --TYPE, the 3.0 litre V6 Supercharged Petrol engine offers power of 380PS and torque of 450Nm. This all-aluminium engine delivers instant access to high levels of performance and torque at all engine speeds, as well as a unique soundtrack.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Delivering rapid shifting for effortless acceleration, XF's 8-speed Automatic Transmission is highly responsive, smooth and efficient. Featuring a contemporary Satin Black rotary selector – the transmission offers even quicker shifts and sportier kick-down in Dynamic Mode, and earlier up-shifts in Eco Mode. You can also opt to manually control gearshifts, via steering wheel paddles, at the touch of a finger.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

This lightweight, highly advanced, 6-speed Manual Transmission4 contributes to XF's outstanding efficiency. Its aluminium alloy casing, hollow shafts and pocketed gears save every gram of weight possible – making this unit the lightest in its class. Specifically designed for the performance requirements of sports cars – it delivers slick, short changes and superb levels of comfort.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE & INTELLIGENT DRIVELINE DYNAMICS

XF offers Jaguar's unique All Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD)1 and Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR)5 on petrol and diesel models. Exclusively developed by Jaguar, the unique IDD software features sophisticated algorithms to react intelligently to road conditions. Predictive, as well as reactive, the system helps prevent you from losing traction instead of working to regain it. Adding to XF’s capability, the AdSR system can work at all engine speeds, automatically recognising differences between surfaces to exploit the maximum available grip.

ALL SURFACE PROGRESS CONTROL

Unique to this class of car, Jaguar’s All Surface Progress Control (ASPC)6 gives you added confidence in slippery conditions – whether starting from a snowy driveway, driving on an icy incline, or even towing on wet grass. ASPC is a low-speed cruise control that helps XF overcome low traction situations, whatever the weather, allowing you to concentrate on steering.

CONFIGURABLE DYNAMICS

Inspired by the F-TYPE sports car, the optional Configurable Dynamics7 system allows you to set up XF's dynamics for throttle mapping, gearbox shift points and steering to suit your performance driving needs. It’s activated when Dynamic Mode is selected in JaguarDrive Control. Dynamic Mode enlivens XF's sporting character, sharpening throttle response, increasing steering weighting and performing gearshifts more quickly and at higher engine speeds. When optional Adaptive Dynamics is fitted, you can make your setting even more personal by configuring the damper settings.

ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS

Whether you're accelerating on the motorway, cornering on country roads or navigating around town, Adaptive Dynamics7 modifies XF's response to match the conditions and your driving style. The system constantly adjusts the dampers to provide the optimum balance between poise and comfort at all times.

ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING

XF's Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) offers outstanding feedback, control and immediate power assistance. Allowing sophisticated computer management to adapt the levels of steering support, EPAS finely calibrates the amount of power assistance for every bend and manoeuvre. EPAS also works in conjunction with the car’s other assistance features, including Lane Keep Assist (LKA)8 and Park Assist8, to offer heightened safety and increase driver convenience.
